Abstract Background Breast conserving therapy (BCT) is accepted as a preferred option for unifocal breast cancer. However, the oncologic safety of BCT for multiple ipsilateral breast cancer (MIBC), has not been demonstrated in a prospective study. The ACOSOG (Alliance) Z11102 phase II single arm prospective trial was designed to evaluate outcomes with BCT for MIBC. Methods Women age 40+ with 2 or 3 foci of biopsy proven breast cancer (BC) (each site &amp;lt; 5cm in size with at least 1 site invasive) separated by &amp;gt;2-3 cm of normal breast tissue and disease limited to two quadrants of the breast with cN0 or cN1 disease were eligible. All patients had pre-operative mammogram and breast MRI was initially required and subsequently made optional. Neoadjuvant therapy was not allowed. Patients were treated with lumpectomy resected to negative margins followed by whole breast radiation with boost to all lumpectomy beds. The primary endpoint of Z11102 is the cumulative incidence of local recurrence (LR, defined as histologic evidence of ductal carcinoma in situ or invasive BC in the ipsilateral breast or chest wall) at 5 years (treating death and distant and nodal/regional recurrence as competing risks) to assess whether the rate is greater than 8%. Data were frozen 5/25/2022. Results From 11/2012-8/2016, 270 women were enrolled. Of these, 33 were ineligible, 14 converted to mastectomy, 11 were unable to meet protocol-specific radiation endpoints, 1 had no definable tumor, 1 had 4 sites of cancer and 16 withdrew before completing surgery and radiation, leaving 194 patients [median age 61 (range 40-87)] eligible who completed breast conserving surgery and radiation therapy. With median follow-up of alive patients of 66.6 months (range: 4.1, 90.6), 6 patients have developed LR (5 ipsilateral breast and 1 chest wall), corresponding to an estimated cumulative incidence of local recurrence of 3.2% (95% CI: 1.3, 6.4) at 5 years. No patients have developed regional recurrence, 5 patients developed distant recurrence, 0 patients developed local and distant recurrence, 5 patients developed contralateral BC, 3 new non-BC primaries and 8 patients have died (1 related to BC). The rate of local recurrence in patients without a breast pre-op MRI (n=14) was 22.6% at 5 years compared to 1.7% among the 180 patients with a preop MRI (p=0.002). Patient age, number of sites of preoperative biopsy proven BC, HER2 status, pathologic T and N category were not statistically significantly associated with risk of LR. Conclusion The Z11102 clinical trial demonstrates that for women with MIBC breast conserving surgery with adjuvant radiation with lumpectomy site boosts has an acceptably low LR rate (3.2% at 5 years), making this a reasonable consideration for women with 2-3 ipsilateral foci. The LR rate was significantly higher in the small cohort of patients without preoperative breast MRI. Support: U10CA180821, U10CA180882; https://acknowledgments.alliancefound.org.
